Agnelli, OrAndrew

, archbishop of
Ravenna in the ninth century, wrote the history of his predecessors in that see, in a bold style, and with little respect
for the interests or character of the court of Rome, by
which his grandfather or great-grandfather had been put to
death. There are many curious facts in this collection of
lives, but also several mistakes in dates. It was published
by father Bacchini, in 1708, with notes, under the title
“Agnelli qui et Andreas, abbatis S. Marias ad Blachernas,
liber pontificalis, sive vituc Pontificum Ravennatum, &c.”
2-vols. 4to. Muratori reprinted it in his collection of Italian historians. Spreti, who wrote on the history of Ravenna, Vossius, and Moreri, have confounded Agnelli with,
one of the same name who lived in the sixth century, and
is supposed to have written a letter in the Bibliothec. Patrum, “De ratione Fidei ad Armenium.” 3
